There is not the slightest chance that anyone in NVidia at a
decision-making level would see your letter, however nicely typed and
spell checked and laser-printed it is.

It will go straight to Customer Services and receive a printed reply.

And in any case, what sales are you promising them? About 200 Amigas
were sold last year and maybe 600 will be sold this year. Of which
about half might be fitted with NVidia cards if there was a driver. For
that, they will spend £50,000 developing drivers?

Just forget it for a couple of years until the Amiga market has built
up. If they can be guaranteed sales of 100,000 cards a year or more,
they might get interested.
